Blog note. Jesus indicated that ‘fearful sights’ (various natural disasters) would occur leading up to the time known as the Tribulation and Great Tribulation (a combined seven year period of great destruction on earth). Although these types of things have occurred in the past for centuries and thousands of years, they could be identified as the ‘season of the times’ due to the ferociousness of these events. They would be occurring in greater intensity, severity, frequency, size, duration, scope … just like the pains that a woman experiences in labor the farther along she is in the labor process. We are in the ‘season of the times’ that comes just before the seven (7) year Tribulation/Great Tribulation period
… And great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. (Luke 21:11).
… And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; (Luke 21:25)
… Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken; (Luke 21:26)
… This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (2 Timothy 3:1)
Jesus is giving a series of prophecies about what to look for as the age of grace comes to a close. These verses are several of many such prophecies from throughout the Bible. 2017 was the worst year in recorded history for the intensity, frequency, severity, duration and occurrence of a large number of severe natural disasters worldwide. Earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, torrential flooding, unprecedented wildfires in unusual places, devastating droughts, excessive/scorching heat setting records everywhere, record snowfalls in Europe and Russia. Snow in the Arabia. This list can go on. Most studied Eschatologists believe these ‘fearful sights’ and massive natural disasters are all part of the ‘CONVERGENCE’ of signs that this Biblical and prophetic age is closing. Most people who study prophecy are familiar with the routine reference(s) made that these things will be like a woman having labor.

Tropical Storm “Kalmaegi,” known as Ramon in the Philippines, has slowed down on Friday morning, November 15, 2019, as it continued heading towards Cagayan, Northern Luzon where it is expected to make landfall on November 17 or early November 18. However, the storm has already made locals feel its fury as rains, floods, and landslides hit provinces, particularly Quezon and Camarines Sur.

At 02:00 UTC on November 15, the center of Tropical Storm “Kalmaegi” was located 420 km (261 miles) east-northeast of Casiguran, Aurora, or 460 km (286 miles) east of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan. It is moving north-northwest at 15 km/h (9 mph) with maximum winds of 75 km/h (47 mph) and gusts of up to 90 km/h (56 mph).

Footage posted by local broadcasting division GMA News showed locals holding on to each other as they braved the raging waters of a swollen river in General Luna. No injuries have been reported yet, but several residents have remained stranded and trapped.

At least 6 houses were buried along the Ragay Gulf, along the riverside of Zone 4 in Pasacao, Camarines Sur, as heavy rains triggered a landslide.

Residents in Camarines Sur have also posted videos and images on social media, showing the widespread flooding across the province.

Meanwhile, the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (MDRRMC) has declared beaches in Baler, Aurora a “no outdoor activities zone”, strictly prohibiting activities such as swimming, surfing, diving, snorkeling and all kinds of water sports. All tourism-related activities in Dilasag have also been halted.

According to PAGASA’s severe weather bulletin issued at 11:00 LT (03:00 UTC) on November 15, light to moderate with intermittent heavy rains are expected in the eastern areas of Cagayan and Isabela, Bicol Region, Romblon, Panay Island, and Cuyo Islands.

On November 16, light to moderate with occasional heavy rains may be felt by residents in the eastern areas of Cagayan and Isabela. Light to moderate with intermittent heavy rains may hit Apayao, Northern Aurora, and the rest of Isabela and Cagayan.

By Sunday morning, November 17, the storm will be 180 km (112 miles) east of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan.

Kalmaegi is expected to be in the vicinity of Santa Praxedes, Cagayan, on Monday morning, November 18.
